After doing some much need soul searching this past weekend, whether relaxing in a chair watching tv, talking with friends, or hanging out under the sun at the beach, I came to the realization that I need to make changes to my lifestyle if I want to achieve my goals.
What is the best way to do this? What steps can I take to help me be successful? These are just a few of the many questions that went through my mind.
So I decided what I should do and even though I may have some ups and downs along the road to achieving my goals with acceptance, persistance, and determination, I just might succeed....and in only five easy steps:
Step One: Wake up a 1/2 hr earlier than usual to go for a 2-3mile run.
Step Two: Change my diet. Make better, smarter, healthier food choices.
Step Three: Do 30-45 mins of cardio/strength training exercises after work (P90X, Chalean Extreme, AbDiet2)
Step Four: Input my food and exercise into MyFitnessPal on my iPhone to keep better track of the actual calories I'm consuming and burning.
Step Five: Start a blog. Write about my successes and my pitfalls.
Sounds like a lot. But today was day one (only the beginning). I woke up at 5:30 a.m and ran 2 miles around the neighborhood. I then got ready and went to work. On my lunch break I walked around Lihue and did some errands. After a stress-free day at work I came home and did a P90X Cardio workout for about 35 minutes. And now I'm sitting down relaxing and creating my first ever blog. Aside from the 2 chocolate chip cookies that were screaming out my name I feel as though Day One was a success!
I know that with persistence and determination I will succeed. I need to remind myself of that everyday and I will eventually reach my goals.
